 That part is easy to replace and no it won't affect the performance of the machine. I had the same model since early1999 and it lasted a long time but was replaced recently by a bissell pro heatx2 which I think is a better unit But thats my opinion.
I broke one of those clips myself by not been carfull , it took minutes to replace once hoover SA found one.
that clip only hold the tank in place when you are moving it about , the suction will hold it still while you use it if it breaks

Thanx Bobby , I'm really enjoying the forum to. My old steamvac was the green and beige one, it worked very hard over its 12 years and still workes ok but I found the proheat has more suction now. I had to replace the bearing and bush set up in the steam vac about 6 years ago as it got a bit noisy, at the begining of this years i found the brushes stopped spinning and try as I might to get them working they just didn't spin like they used to . We started stocking Bissell machines about 3 months ago so I decided to take one home.
My dad Owns a carpet cleaning company that I started and sold to him a few years ago , he has a truck mount and a few rug docters and a mytee but I think this little machine cleans better than all of them

Gareth, I can't imagine a Bissell working better than a Steam Vac, but I've never used that model! When I sold at Sears back in 02, there was no competition between the Bissells and Hoovers, but maybe they've improved since then! | ||

Hi Bobby
You could be right, I also have a older pro heat and at that time the hoover ran circles around it , you don't get propper hoover here any more just some chineses sourced stuff they badge as hoover , not even tti, so I had nothing to compaire it to new , as I said my hoover is 12 years old so it stands to reason that the newer bissel would out clean it. However this new proheat x2 out cleans my older bissell which never saw much work aswell. it is so much better than the old one. If I clean the carpet with the old one and go over the carpet with the new one I can get almost a third more water out. Its a trully awsome machine with its twin roller brushes, but I never got a chance to compare it to the latest hoovers.

Dual V PowerMAX SpinScrub 50 Blew the Bissell Big Green, XXX Professional & Rug Doctor Mighty Pro out of the water! HIJUESU! My old 1970s shag carpet has NEVER been so clean! If I cleaned carpets for a living (which I plan to do) I'm using the PowerMAX SpinScrub 50! Hoover SpinScrub ROCKS! | ||

Hold on
Did they fix the issue with the spray not working in the Bissels after one of two uses from clogging in the heating element? That's the reason I never got one. I thought that it might just be improper use but after reading reviews some were having the trouble of no spray even though they did flush the lines before storing. I wonder if (before storing) if you run hot water and vinegar through the machine to flush it out if that would prevent it. It seems somehow the heating element gets clogged | ||
